Independent. On purpose.
LOUDHOUSE is a listener- and sponsor-funded network with no venture money and no plans to sell. We make the shows we would want to hear.
Two studios under a laundromat
Studio A is for talk: four broadcast mics, a round table and acoustic panels made of old moving blankets. Studio B is for music: a live room big enough for a five-piece and the LH-FM booth.
Every show is recorded, edited and mixed in-house. We pay hosts and producers a salary, not a revenue share, and every guest musician gets a fee.

What we believe
Humans pick the music
No playlists generated by software. Every song on LH-FM was chosen by a person.
Pay everyone
Hosts, producers, guests and session players are paid, every time.
Ads you can trust
Hosts only read ads for things they have actually used.
Stay small
Six shows is enough. We would rather make them great.
